The book isn’t out until January in Ireland and March in the States, but if you’d like a copy eventually here is the pre-order discount code. I’ll share it again and have some launches planned in Bellaghy, Belfast and Dublin for late Feb/ early March. Do come along, I’d be glad to see you.

Double kudos to @jonhenley.bsky.social and the @theguardian.com for:
a) taking the trouble to report on a set of continental European elections where the far-right didn't sweep all before it!
b) calling the far-right the far-right, not 🤮 'the hard-right'!

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.
